Banned in 31 countries and championed as 'the most violent film ever made!,' Cannibal Ferox is the stuff of exploitation legend.
Unfortunately, and despite having a really cool title, Make Them Die Slowly! is pretty much par for the course for cannibal flicks.
Where Deodato's film is subtle about pointing out who the real barbarians are, Lenzi's comes right out and points the finger at us.
The most shocking thing about Cannibal Ferox is that it remains a somewhat popular entry in the largely worthless Italian cannibal genre.
Atrociously acted and made, but the violence is crazy-beautiful enough to keep you both gasping and laughing.
While it has its up points, it's clunky, tedious, and is a basic retread of material from Deodato's horror flick...
Rent it if you're that curious; all others can safely avoid it and still lead a perfectly happy life.
